You will need to enable Payment Data Transfer inside of your PayPal merchant account.
| a. | Login to the PayPal website at http://www.paypal.com using your confidential PayPal ID (e-mail address) and password as shown below. |
| b. | Once you are logged in, select “Profile” under the “My Account” tab. |
| c. | Assuming that you have a merchant account, under the Selling Preferences heading, you should see an option called “Website Payment Preferences” – click on this option. |
| d. | Set “Auto-Return” on. This instructs PayPal to return to your web-site automatically whenever a payment transaction is received. |
| e. | Set the “Return URL” equal to the URL for your web-site followed by “/thankyou.php” to re-direct back to the appropriate thank you page on your web-site. For example, http://mycompany.com/thankyou.php |
| f. | ensure that the optional Payment Data Transfer Feature is turned on. Note that after you turn this feature on, you will be provided with a long “Identity Token” used to authorize information retrieval from the PayPal web-site. Use the mouse to copy this text to the clipboard. (Highlight the Identity Token String with your mouse and press “Control-C” to copy it to your Windows clip-board) |
| g. | Next, as shown below, paste this Identity Token into the NeatClubs Payment setup field (“System Setup” / “Website Layout & Preferences” / “E-Payment Setup”) using “Control-V” in Windows, and ensure that “Enable PayPal Data Transfer” is set to “Yes” as shown. If these settings are configured properly, PayPal should automatically re-direct users back to your web-site following registration activities, and your payment related data will be kept as secure as possible. |
Make sure you remember to save the PDT settings inside of NeatClubs
With PDT setup, you're ready to configure Instant Payment Notification or IPN.
